A Blessed Old Man.

Michigan Advocate.
He is a blessed old man. He grows
more so all the time. 1t cost him
more than a passing pang when the
time came for him to give up the ac-
tive work, and have his name added
to the list of superannuates. But he
stepped down so gracefully that no
m noticed his wrinkled cheeks
grow pale, or saw that his eyes show
ed traces of last nights tears. AS
many as will grant Brother-a super
animated relation, raise your hands,"
said the bishop, and the thing was
done. Two or three old brethren in
front pew, who had had like expert
ences, alphabetically said, "God
bless him." He went from confer
ence sweet, tender, trustful, and set
tied in a little cottage in the midst of
his late parishioners. That vas ten
years ago, and he has been growing
more gentle and cheerful ever since.
He is the friend of every body, every
body is his friend. His head is white,
and he totters a good deal when he
walks, but his heart is young. The
children love to be where he is. He
is the staunch friend of his pastor and
the church. No one dares to speak
disparagingly of either when he is
near. He does not find fault with
things. He does not live mostly in
the past. You never hear him talk
ing mournfully of the departed glory
of the church, and of the sin of for
getting the "land-marks." He thinks
the world is getting better all the
time, and he is glad he has been per-
mitted to live SO long. Sunshine is
in his heart, and on his face. He is
ripening for paradise, and will &c
there pretty soon. When the gates
OF pearl swing open, and he stands
upon the streets of gold, it will not
be such a great change, for he has
been living in the atmosphere OF
heaven a good many years, and his
conversation has been with the King
One of these years when the confer
ence roll is called there will be ne
voice to respond to his name. Some
one will say, He is dead" They
won't mean that, though, for sucl
men do not die. Tears will start tC
the eyes of the veterans because o
the memories Of other years, anC
everybody will say, " Well, he was
q blessed old man."

One Hundred Dollars in Gold.

1t is not often that farmers and
farmers wives, or people generally
who keep hens, have an opportunity
to make from ten to fifty dollars in
eight weeks time, besides increasing
the number of eggs from their hens
from two to five hundred per cent.
But like fourth of July it does come
once a year, and now it is the time.
For three years, |. 5. Johnson &
Co., % Custom House Street, Boston,
Mass, have offered several premiums
payable in gold coin for the best re-
suits from the use of Sheridan's Pow
der to make hens lay. These premi-
ums have become so popular among
people who keep hens, that Johnson
& Co., offer still larger premiums this
year. They hereby authorize is to
say that they will pay one hundred
dollars in gold coin, in four separate
premiums, for the four best results
from eight weeks trial of Sheridan's
Powder to make hens lay. The pre-
miums are as follows: Fifty dollars
for first best result twenty-five dol
lars for the second Fifteen dollars
for third, and Ten dollars for fourth
best result.
OF course every person who COM
petes cannot get a premium, but the
following letter from a party who
took only a small premium last year,
shows that every one can make
money by the use of Sheridan's Pow
dow, from increase of eggs alone,
even if they do not get a premium.

Any person can compete who de-
sires. Johnson d Co., will send full
particulars free to any address. The
sooner n commences the better, as
the more eggs they get during the
season Of high prices, the more money
they will make out of the trial. If
you wish to commence at once it
would be better to send forsome Pow
der and particulars both at the same
time.
For so cents in stamps Johnson &
Co., will send to any p. o. address
two % cent packs, five packs for
$1.00; or, for $l.20, a q pound can of
Powder will be sent postpaid or six
cans to any express Office for $500,
express prepaid. You cannot make
a mistake by ordering at once.

Military Dogs.

The canine service which has been
introduced by way of experiment in
the maneuvers of the Ninth French
Army corps proves to have exceeded
the most sanguine expectations en-
tertained of its utility. During the
separate operations of the sd Line
Regiment, the animals were placed
under the control of Lieut.. Jupin,
with a party of four privates, and
after three days training they were
fit for service. Upon vedette duty,
and in company with single sentries,
it was found that the keen scent and
watchfulness of the ''dachhunds" and
poodles, which had been selected hap
hazard for the trial, enabled them to
give notice by growl or importantly
to their human companions of any
movement or the approach of strang-
ers within three hundred yards of
their posts at night time. Sentinels
we're treasured by the society of the
dog, and the pickets could repose in
all confidence after the fatigues of the
day. The communications between
the main guard, or headquarters, and
the posts were in the meanwhile eff
GENTLY maintained, and not a single
dispatch or report intrusted to the
animals for conveyance in the leath-
ern wallet at their necks was either
miscarried or delayed in transmission.
The carriage Of papers, especially was
performed with more celebrity and
greater dispatch than by horsemen,
and one quality of the four-footed
orderlies, not unimpOrtant in its way,
was the instinct that naturally guided
them in the search and discovery OF
potable water when the troops, as it
frequently occurred, were athirst, and
needed the refreshment.

Uncle Sans Domain.

One may get a new impression of
the vastness of our country by a few
comparisons. Thus, the region west
Of the Mississippi has room for POP
ordinary States such as those in New
England. Colorado would make
twenty-five such States as Connect
cut, yet Colorado is small compared
with Dakota. When we have de-
populated the whole world and gath
cred all of its people into Dakota,
there would be left to every sixteen
souls one acre of land /; and vast as
Dakota is, it is smaller than Texas
by 10000 square miles. And vast
as is Texas, it is only half as large as
Alaska.

The Contented Man.

AT the opening of the Railroad
Mems Building erected in New York
by Cornelious Vanderbilt, Hon.
Chauncey M. Depew made an adj
dress of remarkable brilliancy, we'll
spiced with rich wit. From it we
make the following extract:
You may think from what | say
that l want in the railway service of
the New York Central, the West
Shore and the Harlem, the man who
is satisfied with his condition. /
do not want any contented men
around me. In olden times when
people lived in hamlets where there
was no steam, no electricity, no rail-
road communication, and died in
sight of the church spire which saw
them born, they could be contented +;
but we don't want any contented
men around now, neither do wewant
sour or dlSgruntled men VINO are dis
satisfied with their lot, but are not
seeking to better it. We want am
bilious men, who mean to be better
mentally and physically and moral
ly tomorrow than they were yester-
day, and who, by being better ment-
ally, physically and morally next
year than they were last, come into
the places as they fall in of those who
are higher in position and have great
er salaries. A contented man is sure
to be a stagnant man, and all of us
know stagnant men; they are men
to be avoided.

PRINCE TIPTOE.

In the soft snowy heart of a thistle,
Prince Tlptoe one morning was born;
When the sound of the partridge's whistle
Arose from the ripening corn;
When the sunlight was dreamily tender,
And the hill.tops were smoky and blue,
And u faint, indescribable splendor
In many a cloud.rift came through.
Then a breeze from the South Winds do,
minions
Flew by, and Prince Tiptoe was whirled
Away, on invisible pinions,
From his W little silk-curtained world :;
He was tossed in the air like a feather,
And twirled till he almost forgot
His name, and could scarcely tell whether
He was really Prince Tiptoe or not.
But the gay little zephyr grew weary,
And declared she should soon have to stop:
And she said, "There's a cottage, my deary,
On its porch you must quietly drop"
It was sheltered and shady and airy,
And an oak.tree high over it rose
And His Highness came down like a fairy
On the tips of his downy white toes,
And softly he danced to the measure
OF the thrush's song up in the tree,
And forgot in his light-hearted pleasure
That danger Nneor him might be-
An urchin was SlOwlg advancing,
Whose pansy.blue, wondering eyes
Saw not in that small atom dancing
A Fairy.land prince in disguise.
But he knew there was nothing to match i
In the length and the bredth OF the Town
And he said with a shout, " | will catch it
That beautiful white thistle. down"
Ha the sly little breeze was but hiding,
And watching her nursing at play;
And forth she came noiselessly gliding
And Prince Tiptoe was up and away!
